Brown University Sued for Negligence in Suicide Case

Explaining her reasons for bringing the suit, Klein told the Herald Tuesday that "acting in loco parentis, Brown has an obligation 'to take care of you.'"

Daniel Shuster entered Brown in 1987 and sought counseling for depression from Brown University Psychological Services in his first semester. The death of Shuster's roommate and his roommate's girlfriend in a December 1987 car crash soon added to his mental health problems.
